I was banded on Oct 25 and down around 30lbs. im glad to here that's what others are doing...i wasn't sure if i was on track now that important eating more ...no real exercise routine yet...still going w the flow on this one...should i need my first fill now?

Your dr should be monitoring your loss and if you need a fill. Do you have an appointment scheduled with your surgeon soon??? 30lbs is great.........congrats.

I just had my first pre-op appt with my doctor last week. I was banded on November 6th. He said that I will see him once a month and if I have lost more than four pounds since the last time I saw him, he won't do a fill. Think it all depends on your doctor though.

Wow!! 30lb in practically a month, that is great!! Congrats!! What was your starting weight?

** if you don't mind me asking?

Sounds like you are doing great ! I had my first fill 2 months post op since I had a pretty significant loss the first few months

Sounds good to me... we could respond better if you would update your profile.

Hi Mega Mom. Who did your surgery in NJ?

I had my first fill 6 weeks post-op. My doctor always based the fills/unfills on how I was feeling; hungry, getting sick et... I think that's better than going by weight loss. Their were deffiinately long stretches of time I lost weight but was very hungry. The weight loss didn't mean I didn't need a fill.
